Jermaine Gresham may not be their worst pick in terms of on field production but he is their worst pick in my heart, which is where it counts.

E: And I mean honestly the dude's attitude was so bad (ALLEGEDLY) that the coaching staff basically wanted him gone because they thought he was milking injuries so he didn't have to play. Which is probably bullshit, yeah, but there's a reason dude's nickname was The Villain while he was here. Coulda been Dez.......

Hall of Fame:
Aaron Rodgers (2005, #24 QB) Fellow NFC North fans, I want you to imagine for a brief moment a scenario where in 2008 the Packers decide to keep Favre for another three years and let Rodgers leave in free agency.
My dad is a Bears fan, so before the Panthers I was also a Bears fan. I was 5 when they won the Super Bowl so I don't remember much about that but I do know he hated that Green Bay got two HOF QBs in a row.

If GB let Rodgers go in free agency in 2008, here are the best QBs drafted in 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 just because.

2008: Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco are drafted in the 1st Rd, but GB does not have any 1st Rd draft picks so waah waaah. Chad Henne is available in the second round, but GB picked Brian Bohme instead one pick before Henne went to the Dolphins..
2009: Matthew Stafford and Mark Sanchez :laffo: are drafted before GB gets a pick. GB has not picked 1st at any time since the 1970 merger, so they don't get a chance at Stafford, who was good.
2010: Sam Bradford and Tim Tebow are the gems of this draft. Bradford taken first so GB won't get him.
2011: Cam Newton leads the draft class of .... well Andy Dalton is good. Kaepernick had a great season and then not so much. Since GB has not had the #1 pick they do not get Newton (and Green Bay with old rear end Favre is better than the 1-15 Panthers with Clausen)

So actually if Favre sticks around there's not much QB talent outside of the #1 pick and GB won't get that because Favre would gunsling it enough to sniff the playoffs instead of tanking for #1. At best they get Dalton or Kaepernick, neither of which are near Rodgers.

8. Michael Crabtree (2009): A really good WR who could never play to expectations
9. Anthony Davis (2010): A decent RT who at times looked like a great RT. Was part of the mass exodus of starters last offseason but now back with the team

Okay.

For real NFL players:

1) 2003 - C Dan Koppen - Solidly good center for a decade. Can't ask for more from a 5th rounder.
2) 2008 - ST Matt Slater - 5x Pro bowl gunner. YEAHHHH SON
3) 2011 - T Marcus Cannon - He kinda sucks, but is an acceptable swing tackle who isn't a tire fire

At least they could play in the league:

4) 2010 - P Zoltan Mesko - Was an average punter for like two years then had a lovely 3rd year and got cut.
5) 2005 - T Ryan O'Callahan - Was a backup who played sporadically for 2 years, then was a bad starter in KC for a year
6) 2011 - TE Lee Smith - Got cut, was a minus player for the Bills for 4 years.

Couldn't play in the league:

2009 - T George Bussey
2007 - T Clint Oldenburg
2005 - LB Ryan Claridge
2004 - WR PK Sam

Teddy Lehman-Bad. Got a lot of tackles and was a white guy from Oklahoma so there's a lot of his jerseys floating around out there.

2005
Shaun Cody- Awful.

2006
Daniel Bullocks-Terrible

2007
Drew Stanton-One of the best backups in the league. He's easily one of the best picks the Lions have made here, let that sink in.
Ikaika Alama-Francis- Putrid. A project defensive end that Rod Marinelli was totally going to turn into a killer pass rusher guys, no really just give it another season.
Gerald Alexander-Substandard safety who had to start as a rookie because the above Daniel Bullocks exploded.

2008
Jordan Dizon- Abysmal. I got his autograph on a roster for a former coach of mine and he still displays in his house because he was so hilariously bad.

2009
Louis Delmas- Lou Dawg was mega rad but also an idiot who prioritized big hits over anything resembling competent coverage.

2010
No Picks- By far the best decision the Lions made in this time period.

2011
Titus Young-....so good for a season, then went entirely loving insane. Still well into the top half of the picks the Lions have made.
Mikel Leshoure- Fat and slow and not good.

2012
Ryan Broyles- 3 seasons, 32 catches, 2 touchdowns. Jesus Christ.

2013
Darius Slay- Owns.

All that's missing is the ring.
I'll give it a shot. There's a lot of mediocre so the rankings are oddly difficult to come up with.

#1: Cameron Jordan, DE (2011). Our best defensive player by far. A couple of well earned pro bowls in his relatively short career and multiple good seasons after a mediocre start in his rookie year. No JJ Watt but a really good pick in a position we needed.

#2: Jammal Brown, OT (2005). Brown was a drat good tackle in his stay at New Orleans. The only reason we ever parted ways with him was his injury and Bushrod stepping up to be a solid replacement and cheaper.

#3: Will Smith, DE (2004). A good player who played for a long time. Had an amazing breakout year in our Superbowl season -- which was amusingly not his one pro bowl appearance. It's possible I should have him higher than Jordan based on how long he was with the team but eh. Spent a lot of that time overpaying him for his 2009 performance which he could never capture.

#4: Robert Meachem, WR (2007). This is where the quality starts thinning out and we're just at normal, good players. And that's what Meachem was for the Saints -- another in a list of solid wide outs for Brees.

#5: Reggie Bush, RB (2006). Same deal as Meachem, really, though paid more for his services. A pretty good offensive piece who suffered from being amazingly overhyped and not knowing to run forward instead of sideways half the time.

#6: Malcolm Jenkins, DB (2009). Jenkins was an average defensive back throughout his career. Played corner for a bit before moving to safety because he was too slow. Not a bust but didn't really live up to expectations. Would have a flashy play every year to get your hopes up that he might turn the corner but never did.

#7: Mark Ingram, RB (2011, might as well be 2012). Ingram is a respectable running back. After being a running joke for a couple years after his debut (rightfully so, who the gently caress mortgages a first round pick next year to reach on a running back) he's become a fixture of the team's running game. I just wish he could learn to pass block better. If he'd been drafted in the third round I don't think anyone would mind what he brings to the team.

#8: Kenny Vaccaro, SS (2013). The most recent addition, I still think it's a little early to judge him but he's been very inconsistent to bad since we drafted him. The bad Saints defense isn't all his fault, but he certainly hasn't helped much.

#9: Sedrick Ellis, DT (2008). When we drafted Ellis everyone thought he was going to be the amazing anchor of an improving defense. He is only notable in how utterly unimpactful he was.

#10: Patrick Robinson (2010). The only person on this entire list I cringe to think of. Was just awful every time he was on the field. One of the core pieces of/reasons for the Saints terrible defense in his brief time on the team.

Honestly, not that bad, not that good. Like the classic Saints 7-9 season, really. Maybe next year the list will look better with Cooks on it if he has a crazy season like we pray he will.

Dang you beat me to including Sheldon (great pick) but I forgot about Keller, which is surprising as he was Sanchez's favourite safety valve. I wasn't too happy when he went to Miami and the Jets went through a rough spot at TE after he left.

This is probably fairly common across the league but the Jets have a pretty significant drop off in quality between their top 5-6 first-round picks and the rest. Darrelle through Sheldon are A++, Vilma was solid and Keller was a decent contributor. Things go off the cliff after that:
  • Mark 'Buttfumble' Sanchez needs no introduction
  • Coples had difficulty producing even with a great line in front of him
  • Kyle Wilson can't play outside and is no good in the slot
  • Milliner has been injured however he hasn't improved at all and even struggled against the Giants' second team in the most recent preseason game
  • Gholston is almost the dictionary definition of the word 'bust'
